    2018 Giro CQ Game

    After a 3 year break I've tried to submit a team (although the message is in my Outbox rather than sent)?? Hope it makes me watch more of the Giro.

    2015 Giro CQ game

    Re: My fall from the podium thanks to Richie flat tyre debacle is almost as spectacular as Frank Lowys fall from the podium of the A League presentation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXqwNwsr1_Q

    The 2015 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Well with my stuff up having Howson twice in my list would have had me in first place for the first an only time this year if I could use him as a wild card!;) Nice to have made one update for the year, even if it wasn't an official weekly update.

    The 2015 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    After making a bazillion changes to balance my team I ended up with a rider twice, picked up the mistake within 24 hours, I let Skidmark know and just assumed my team would have to be a 32 rider team for the year. My mistake so too bad for me. Hope I don't end up close to winning it! The rider I...

    Well done Hugo87 on keeping faith with Contador and thanks Armchair Cyclist for the daily detailed updates.

    2014 Tour de France CQ game

    Thanks to Armchair Cyclist for the daily updates and analysis. Lets hope there are not as many GC contenders crash out at the Vuelta to keep everyone in the game (although I did have Talansky in my team :D). I'm glad I persisted with a slow Wifi putting together my team by using my phone...

    2014 Tour de France CQ game

    Laurens Ten Dam keeps slowly gaining points for BeagRigh. Worried Hansen will escape down the road and claim some vital points today. I need Rolland and JVB to stop falling down the GC.

    2014 Tour de France CQ game

    Interesting day today with Zubeldia moving from 18th to 14th on GC and Ten Dam 17th to 12th just for Beagrigh. Bardet has slid into third for Comodoro which hopefully Pinot can overtake. Can Rolland hang in there for myself (and Beagrigh)?

    Stage 16: Ponte Di Legno-Val Martello/Martelltal (139 km)

    Cadel is paying $51 with the bookies so you could clean up today. :cool:

    2014 Giro CQ game

    Good day for my team and thought Cataldo had the win in the bag with 50m to go. Hugo87's team looks like it is ready to pounce and dominate.

    The 2014 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Argh missed out on the 0 pointers as I couldn't get the website to show me riders = 0 or < 1 and could only think of Ballan. Wonder if anyone was brave enough to select Matthew Lloyd when he wasn't signed up by anyone. I'm sure he waited for the CQ Ranking Manager entries to close off before...

    Cricket- the sport not the insect

    Two of his wickets came from full tosses when the Aussies were slogging at the end. Cook rarely bowled him and used Pieterson today to first bowl spin today. England only batted for 31 overs in the 2nd innings.

    2013 Tour de France, stage 18: Gap - Alpe-d'Huez, 172.5km

    I rode down the Col du Sarenne yesterday and they were digging up and re asphalting large sections including one entire corner. Instill have bits of ashphalt stuck on my tyres. The road is very bumpy and narrow in many sections that will be interesting how the riders approach it even if it was...

    The 2013 CQ Ranking Manager Game

    Only one team has Spilak in 2013. Some of us who had him in 2012 should have kept him again in 2013 :(
